garbage

Rating: 1/10 (17 September 2013)

Pacific Rim is a movie for people who get distracted by shiny objects.
There is no plot, no suspense, no drama, no humour, no attempt at characterisation . All there is, is a big pile of CGI and a script that looks like it was written by a four year old.
There is LOTS of cgi. Its not very good CGI and it completely fails to disguise the fact that the movie is idiotic and lazy, with nothing to offer anyone except the completely undiscerning viewer. The film even has much of the action taking place in poorly lit environments to attempt to describe the lameness of the effects.
The actors do their best, but even Idris Elba, whose work I normally enjoy, is completely wasted in this trash.
